Dubai… which i visited during last december. As a tourist, well its marvellous with high rise buildings… unbelievable shapes and height. Check the picture of the tallest building in the world. If you place it right beside “Le Pouce Mountain” of Mauritius… Guess what! the building is higher by more than 200 metres.
Tallest Building in the World
As an Engineer, its amazing to realise a building of this height. What i heard about with a local Engineer, is that only few workers can stand at this height and they were paid a colossal salary with free luxury anytime staying there lifelong.
Not forgetting also the endless desert which i visited with a 4 wheel drive. The drivers can make you leave your seat anytime, slyding sideway down the steep dunes.

Les Français sont fiers de leur Tour Eiffel. And why not?
Structurally speaking, it is indeed a marvellous work. However, i did not forget other structures as well like the historically great Arc de Triomphe and the concrete bridge at Tulle. Wow, need to go again…
The “Stade de France” was amazing with the T-Shirt of some of the great footballers i admire and i was there in the room, it was like a dream.

Our sister island (Reunion) is quite amazing. Though I visited the Eastern & Southern part, I guess the most interesting is yet to be discovered (I mean the Piton de la Fournaise Volcano).
There are buildings with amazing structure and with the road near the sea, it really feels great being there.
There are some pictures that I took there. You can add your comments.
